The two identical chromosomes are conjoined at the centromere.
the centromere
breaks off and attach to adjacent chromatids on the homologous chromosome
each chromosome consists of two identical "sister" chromatids
A chromatid is one-half of two identical copies of a replicated chromosome. During cell division, the identical copies are joined together at the region of the chromosome called the centromere.Joined chromatids are known as sister chromatids. Once the joined sister chromatids separate from one another in anaphase of mitosis, each is known as a daughter chromosome.Chromatids are formed from chromatin fibers.Bailey, Regina. "Chromatid."

Sister chromatids are generated when a single chromosome is replicated into two copies of itself, these copies being called sister chromatids.
The centromere is found in the middle of two sister chromatids. The sister chromatids are connected by the centromere in order to form a chromosome.

The centromere is the part of the chromosome where sister chromatids are joined together.
breaks off and attach to adjacent chromatids on the homologous chromosome
The cell structure that joins two sister chromatids into one single chromosome is called the centromere. This is at the center of the sister chromatids.

After DNA replication, when each chromosome exists as a pair of identical sister chromatids, the sister chromatids are tightly attached to each other at the centromere.
When all the genes of a chromosome have duplicated but are still attached, the structures that are formed are called sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are identical copies of each other, and they are held together at a specialized region called the centromere.
A chromatid is one-half of two identical copies of a replicated chromosome. During cell division, the identical copies are joined together at the region of the chromosome called the centromere. They are known as sister chromatids. Once the paired sister chromatids separate from one another in anaphase of mitosis, each is known as a daughter chromosome.
